Interstellar arena

Surely, the plan to buy metal with gold has failed!

Many people mistakenly believe that the price of some precious metals will become as cheap as carrots after human beings have the ability to travel between stars. In fact, many people have entered into a misunderstanding.

It is true that humans have discovered planets made of pure gold and diamonds. However, these planets almost all have a common feature, which is very dense, forming an irresistible gravitational force. It is difficult for human spaceships to land. It will collapse directly on it, and it cannot be mined at all, or the cost of mining is very high.

Of course, the output of human gold is still very impressive. However, because gold has a luxurious color that most metals do not have, the huge population base that has a strong desire for gold, and the wide use of gold in industry, gold has always been the most popular. One of the strong hard currencies and utility metals.

Compared with other metals, the superiority of gold is difficult to be replaced, because gold has a color comparable to the sun, which symbolizes wealth and status; the ductility of gold is even more incomparable with other metals, and 1 ounce of gold can be stretched into 50 miles. , its ductility makes it easy to cast, which is the best choice for making jewelry; in addition, its malleability is second to none, it can produce extremely thin and easy-to-roll gold sheets, and 1 ounce of gold can be hammered as thin as 400/1 millionth of a foot As thick as 100 square feet, the ancients hammered it into thin slices to decorate temples and palaces; it is said that 1 ounce of gold can be used to cover the roof of a house...

In the application of science and technology, gold has extremely high thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Pure gold is the best electronic conductor material. Such high-quality performance is difficult to be replaced by other metals.

There is no doubt that no matter how high the output of gold is, it is impossible to meet human demand for gold, so gold will never be as expensive as a carrot.

Now, the fact that gold is cheaper than iron is in front of everyone.

Is this planet rich in gold?

While people smiled wryly, they couldn't help but feel emotional. Since the gold on this planet is so cheap, wouldn't it be a big profit if they opened an interstellar commercial route?

It's a pity that Burleigh's next question made people's dreams go out instantly, and the gap was like riding a roller coaster.

"How many gold coins do you need for a year's living expenses?" Burleigh's question cuts to the chase. Generally speaking, the actual value of a gold coin can be measured from its purchasing power.

"Ah...how much?" Wei Xiong opened his eyes wide, looking at Burleigh's face in surprise.

"Well, is there a problem?"

"One gold coin is enough for my living expenses for a year."

"Are you sure?!" Burleigh's eyes widened this time.

"Sure, I can't spend a Y-shaped gold coin for a year of eating and drinking." Wei Xiong nodded affirmatively, as if to prove that he didn't lie, and made an oath to God.

"..."

Everyone was speechless again. It seems that smuggling gold is also impossible. The thing is very obvious. Gold is not rich here. The only reason why iron is more expensive than gold is that it is strictly controlled by the government. The main reason why gold is not restricted may be because Gold is too soft to be used as a weapon, and the cost of making gold into a weapon is too high for ordinary people to afford.

……

While everyone was chatting, some individual tents had already been packed, and everyone had a random breakfast like nutrient solution and made some preparations for departure.

Now, Liu Fei has two goals: first, to find the needed metal repairs; second, to find a spaceship capable of interstellar flight.

From the current point of view, the first one is very difficult, as can be imagined from the degree of control of the ironware by the authorities; as for the second one, it is difficult to speculate, because, so far, no high-tech artifacts have been seen from this planet. The product of Wei Xiong's body is no different from the ancient earth.

What makes people puzzled is that Wei Xiong seems to be no stranger to spaceships, and some high-tech gadgets owned by Liu Fei are also very normal. Although there is a trace of curiosity, it is not the kind of stupid worship. Everyone knows that all the old and young in Weijia Village know that there are many planets inhabited by human beings besides the ideal star, and they seem to be familiar with the history, culture and economy of the ancient earth. According to Wei Xiong, the ancestral hall of their Wei family Inside, there are also preserved paper books that basically came from the ancient earth, and the "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and the Three Kingdoms that Liu Fei is familiar with are actually among them.

However, what surprised Burleigh and the others was that, except for those few books, the source of their scientific and technological information was not from books, but from word of mouth. Moreover, this way of word of mouth has already Hundreds of years old.

Everyone couldn't help sighing, it's no wonder that the information seems fragmented, not to mention the information that has been passed down by word of mouth for hundreds of years. In [-], those ancient information can be roughly maintained as they are now, which has become extremely precious.

Half an hour later, the camp was cleaned up, and even the place where the bonfire was burned was specially treated, and there was no trace of camping. The only regret is that Wei Xiong's felling of the isolation zone has destroyed the vegetation, and it is impossible to restore it to its original state.

Seeing everyone cleaning up the camp, Wei Xiong was dumbfounded. After that, he kept observing, and finally praised him endlessly.

Finally, the camp was dealt with, and a group of people embarked on the journey.

Just when everyone was about to cross the backbone of the dry land in the swamp, suddenly, Liu Fei made a silent movement.

"Boom boom boom..."

Indistinctly, there seemed to be a burst of thunder coming, the momentum was extremely compelling, and people felt a sense of fear inexplicably.

"No, it's the armored gladiator cavalry!" Wei Xiong exclaimed, his face was pale and frightened, and he hugged the sword-horned beast tightly on his chest with both hands.

"What is an armored gladiator cavalry?" Liu Fei's expression was dignified. Before he saw anyone, he felt the thick and fierce aura. Moreover, from Wei Xiong's fearful face, he could be sure that the other party was not a kind person. .

"That... In short, it's scary, let's avoid it..."

Wei Xiong's legs trembled unexpectedly, and his strong body moved towards the woods with difficulty, but Wei Xiong immediately stopped his body, because Liu Fei and the others did not move, forming a triangular battle formation like a sculpture. At the top is Liu Fei holding a scimitar, and the 50 people behind him are holding a delicate metal block. There is a black metal tube at the front of the metal tube. Inside the metal tube, there seems to be an invisible energy pulsating. .

Is it a laser gun?

Obviously, that is the legendary laser gun!

Inexplicably, Wei Xiong felt extremely excited, his trembling legs stopped trembling, but he still took a few steps back, found a place, and held the head of the sword-horned beast and the pack of caracal rats in his hands. The bone piece was carefully hidden behind a stone, it was all his belongings!

The 50 people who followed Liu Fei, apart from their fanatical admiration for Liu Fei, were all well-selected all-rounders. Whether it was fighting or shooting, they were all outstanding players in Koduo Space City. Almost a kind of blind trust, now that Liu Fei is as stable as a rock, they will naturally not take a step back.

Cavalry, as the name suggests, are soldiers on horseback.

Liu Fei knew very well that the swamps and dry land intertwined here were not suitable for the cavalry to charge. If they retreated, the huge dry land would be given up instead, providing an open area for the cavalry to charge.

Liu Fei is not a person who shows off his courage, but as long as he makes a decision, he will have courage and determination beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Now, where Liu Fei is standing is the bottleneck area where two dry lands intersect, and only three people can pass side by side. As long as you keep this position, even if the opponent has thousands of troops, it will be difficult for him to cross the thunder pool...

ps: I started to find the feeling slowly, and the number of updates will gradually increase, thank you brothers for your support!
